After replacing the video card, the computer wouldn't boot and the monitor screen was black (there was some signal but no image), I couldn't even get into the bios.
I tried many recommended things for such cases as removing various components, clearing CMOS, etc. and the only thing that helped was turning the computer off and on many times, when suddenly for no obvious reason everything started working properly.
The computer then run with no issues for several weeks including demanding games, until I took out the video card and put it back (there was some fan rattling I needed to check), the problem repeated and resolved in the similar way as before.
What could be the cause of this? I'm afraid to touch the hardware anymore now that I'm not sure if the PC will boot properly.
My specs: ASUS PRIME B560M-A, Intel Core i5-10400F, NVIDIA 3060TI (connected to Dell monitor and Philips 4KTV), 16GB RAM, 1x NVMe SSD, 2x SATA HDD, Silentium Elementum E2 550W 80Plus PSU.
Max power draw during booting is 110W, idle in Windows is 60W and 240W in the most demanding games I play. I used PSU calculator on the web and got recommended PSU Wattage for this system 440W.
